Correspondence from Mayor Roger Parent, February 11, 1986

Mr. John Kovach
304 E. Broadway
Mishawaka, IN 46545
Dear John:
I want to thank you personally for making the special effort to attend the Local Government Property Tax Control Board hearing in Indianapolis on January 24th.
The testimony of the remonstrators and the outcome of the meeting left many of us dispirited for a moment and I regret very much that some of the strongest supporters of the Coveleski Regional Stadium were subjected to such public abuse. Nonetheless, as you are well aware, the State Board of Tax Commissioners has now acted decisively in our favor and the project is, once again, moving steadily ahead.
Trying to envision a better future and improve the quality of life for a community is never an easy task. The dedicated help and partnership of individuals like you has always made my work as Mayor very rewarding and worthwhile. Thanks again for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Roger O. Parent
